Ron, I've had this exact same question a while now and was also
looking into the same ATI card. I believe that card has an analog TV
out? I do sfx work for short AVI's using Vegas and thought this
would be a great thing if I could run the TV output, and locate the
TV near my client for their viewing and keep them away from my
computer monitor and work area. Seems kind of a waste to buy a DV
camera and use it for a converter box. I haven't priced DV cameras,
but this doesn't seem like a cheap solution to me. So has anyone
else tried this video card for this purpose where it outputs to a
computer monitor and TV at the same time? Or can anyone recommend a
Video card which is supported by Vegas and has this functionality.

Hi Dave.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I don't own a DV camera, so
that option would be more expensive than $100 for me.

Would the ATI Rage Fury Pro card still work for me using the TV out
on the ATI card?

Thanks,
Ron
